Oct 15 - Persistance

This week I wanted to write something different, so I started at a slower bpm and went for a different vibe. I think it turned out pretty good. This idea is dancey, but with a variation on the usua...

Oct 8 - Nimbus

This week's session started with some atmosphere and a drum groove. I pulled influences from some genres I'm not used to like Hyperpop (which formed the background atmosphere) and ambient/glitch (w...

Sept 24 - Eye of the Storm

This week, I wanted to focus on something darker. I started out with some cinematic drums, a bunch of atmosphere layers, and a basic EDM beat. From there, it developed into some progressive house (...

Aug 13 - Last Train Home

This week's session was interesting. Generally, it felt incoherent and a bit misguided but I did end up with a full idea. It's alright, but I'm just not sure it's strong enough to return to. That s...
